The Charm (English translation):

Today in the morning
I got up from a bed of gold
leaned upon a staff of silver
went out a gilded door
gathered the loves
thrust them into this water
and stirred them with the basil cluster.
I gathered the loves
from ninety-nine virgins
from ninety-nine rare young men
picked them, gathered them
and thrust them into this water.
Holy Mother Sunday
heard me from heaven
came down from heaven
took me by the hand
and asked me with her mouth:
— N, why do you lament
why do you wail?
— How can I not lament
how can I not wail?
For strangers
hated me
strangers and neighbors
good people and bad
even N hated me.
— Now, lament no more
wail no more
for I'll take you by the right hand
and set you by the Jordan
I'll wash and cleanse you
with a cluster of basil
over your whole body
I'll take goat skin
off your head
I'll take flaking skin
off your nose
I'll take wolf skin
off your body
I'll take a black hen's droppings
off your legs
and cat shoelaces
off the soles of your feet
I'll put two morning stars
upon your two shoulders
and I'll make you eyebrows of holy oil
so whoever sees you will be amazed.
Let her be heard and seen
like a sun
when it rises
like a peony when it blossoms
like silver at court
like a horse at a studbarn
like red silk in a shop.
Whoever passes in front of you
may their hearts ache inside of them.
When you laugh in front of them
you'll pour forth blossoming lilies of the valley.
I left a second time
set out toward the rising sun
and I met with three She's.
They took me by the hand
set me by the Jordan
washed and cleansed
my whole body
with the cluster of basil
and took
goat skin
off my head
flaking skin
off my nose
wolf skin
off my body
droppings of a black hen
off my legs
cat shoelaces
off the soles of my feet.
One was beautiful
she gave me her beauty
one was gentle
she gave me her gentleness
one was from the sun
she gave me her brilliance
and told me to be like sunlight
in front of him.
And they made me a chair of wax
1
so whoever sees my eyes
will take me
and they made me eyebrows of holy oil
so whoever sees my eyes
will be amazed
and they put twigs
and tiny stars
2
all over my skirt
so the whole world would look at them.
May you be for him
like sunlight
like a sun
when it rises
like a peony when it blossoms
like silver at court
like a horse at a studbarn
like red silk in a shop.
When he passes in front of me
may his heart ache inside of him
when he opens his mouth
may it go numb in front of me.
As the egg bursts to pieces in the fire
and spurts in all directions
so may N burst to pieces
for my eyes
for my mouth
for my hands, for my legs
for all I have under the sun.
As the world listens
to the tolling of the bells
to the call of the birds
to the singing of the cuckoos
so may N listen
to me
to my voice
to my words
to my speech.
As the egg bursts to pieces in the fire
so may N burst to pieces
when he passes in front of me
may his heart ache inside of him
and may I be for him
like sunlight
like a sun
when it rises
like a peony when it blossoms
like silver at court
like a horse at a studbarn
like red silk in a shop.
May other women seem to him
like befueled fuel
may I alone seem to him
beautiful and brilliant.
